Voting is a fundamental right and all eligible voters should have the equal opportunity to exercise that right. We are dedicated to ensuring that our elections remain free, fair and accessible.
3/27/19 Update: HR1 passed the house. The League of Women Voters is urging members to contact their Senators today and tell them how important HR1 with its package of reforms is to the future of our democracy. Please 'Read more' for details on the bill and how you can easily contact your Senator.
This is our monthly advocacy planning meeting. Discussion may include local actions in support of positions from any level of the League, as well as updates on current priority issues such as housing, immigration, and healthcare.
HR1, the For the People Act, comprises a bold, transformative set of reforms to strengthen our democracy and return political power to the people. The League has worked to influence the language in this bill and to ensure it moves forward.
New legislation from Congress, HR 1, the For the People Act, will modernize our election system, reform redistricting, and restore the Voting Rights Act.
